			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NAIROBI, Kenya — Hundreds of Ethiopian troops poured into a western Somalia border town on Saturday, opening a new front against the militant group al-Shabab, which now faces hostile militaries on three sides.</p>
<p><span id="more-12065"></span>Resident Mohammed Abdi said hundreds of residents fled Beledweyne on Saturday after hundreds of Ethiopian and Somali troops moved in. Capt. Hashi Nor of the Somali military confirmed that Somali and Ethiopian troops had moved in.</p>
<p>“I saw Ethiopian troops standing at the doors of neighboring homes. Somali soldiers are also searching the homes,” Abdi said. “Al-Shabab retreated back to Bulo Burte and also many of the residents fled, and those who remained are in their homes.”</p>
<p>The military movement appears to be a third front against al-Shabab, Somalia’s strongest militant group. Kenyan troops moved into Somalia in mid-October in a push against the militants in the country’s south. African Union troops from Uganda, Burundi and most recently from Djibouti have mostly pushed al-Shabab fighters out of the capital, Mogadishu.</p>
<p>“We are in full control of Beledweyne now and our troops will move forward in the coming hours,” Nor, the Somali military officer, said by phone from Beledweyne.</p>
<p>Abdi said the sound of gunfire could be heard in Beledweyne but that he did not believe actual battle was taking place. However, al-Shabab on its official Twitter feed said that a battle that began at 6 a.m. was still “raging” in the city as of midday.</p>
<p>Al-Shabab said that a “majority” of Beledweyne residents joined al-Shabab “to thwart the offensive.” It claimed that dozens of Ethiopian troops had been killed, but that was impossible to verify and was likely an exaggerated claim. It later said on Twitter that al-Shabab was executing a planned withdrawal and would surround the city.</p>
<p>Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali said in a statement that Somalia’s armed forces had taken over “strategic places” from al-Shabab in the central region of Hiran on Saturday. He did not make direct mention of involvement by Ethiopian troops.</p>
<p>“We are officially requesting the international community and the neighboring countries like Ethiopia to stand on our shoulders and help the Somali people and their government for the historic operation to liberate the country from this brutal terror group,” he said. “We are also asking the humanitarian aid agencies to reach and help people living in the areas liberated from al-Shabab.”</p>
<p>U.S.-backed Ethiopian troops moved into Somalia in 2006 at the invitation of the weak, U.N.-backed Somali government. But the incursion was seen by many Somalis as an unpopular invasion and actually helped give birth to the al-Shabab movement. Ethiopians pulled out in early 2009, and there are fears that a new push by Somalia could be a propaganda coup for al-Shabab.</p>
<p>Ethiopia in November said it was considering whether to contribute troops to the African Union force in Somalia. Kenya’s parliament recently voted for its forces to join the AU force. That move is awaiting approval by the United Nations.</p>
<p>The central Somalia town of Beledweyne lies about 20 miles (30 kilometers) from the border with Ethiopia. A commercial hub, it lies on a key road that links Mogadishu with northern Somalia. Control of the town has changed hands frequently in recent months as different militias push to seize control of it.</p>

<p>Xukuumadan oo awooda kula wareegtay qasnado madhan iyo dayn aan xad lahayn oo ay ka tagtay xukuumadii Rayaale, haddana waxay beerka u dhigatay inay ka talaabsato caqabadihii ay xafiiska ugu yimaadeen intoodii badnaa waxaanay sanad iyo badhkii ay jirtay waxa u qabsoomay arrimo waaweyn oo xukuumadihii ka horeeyay ugu qabsoomi waayay sideed sanadood iyo wax ka badan .Dadweynaha Somaliland waxa si weyn u soo jiitay go’aankii xukuumaddu ay waxbarashada Dugsiyada Hoose/dhexe ay bilaashka kaga dhigtay taasi oo kor u qaaday in tirada caruurta wax barta ee hore u tahli waayay inay daboolaan lacagta waxbarashada caruurta.</p>
<p>Talabaabadani waxay Somaliland ka dhigtay mid tusaale ugu noqon karto wadammadda darisyadda,waxaanay arrintan ku bogaadiyay machady o caalamiya oo daneeya tisqaadka tacliinta.<br />
Sidaasi si la mid ah waxay qaadatay tallaabooyin gunti isku giijis ah waxaanay shaqaalihii dawladda iyo Ciidamaddi qalabka sida ay u kordhisay mushaharkii 100%, taasi oo u hirgashay sidii loo qorsheeyay. Waxaana mushahar kordhintaas ay saameyn togan ku yeelatay kumanaan qoys oo nolashoodu ku tiirsanayd mushaharka dawladda, kuwaasi oo si weyn ugu diirsaday.waxa dawlada Axmed Siilaanyo horumar ka samaysay sidii kor loogu qaadi lahaa dakhiliga cashuuraha dalka ka soo baxa, waxaanay gaadhsiisay miisaaniyadii 78%. Waxaana sanadka fooda inagu soo hayana laga dhawrayaa inay badka keento miisaaniyadii ugu badnayd ee dalku yeesho.</p>
<p>Sanadkan waxay xukuumaddani ka jawaabtay qodob sanado badan ay ku fashilmeen dawladii Rayaalle, waxaanay dawlada Axmed Siilaanyo ay bedeshay lacagtii giimbaarta Burco oo dhabar jab ku ahayd dhaqaalaha dalka isla markaana aan u wanaagsanayn sumcadda qaranimadda.</p>
<p>Waxa kale oo Sanadkan ay xukuumaddu ay laashay heshiiskii ay diideen Golaha wakiiladda ee shirkada Total kootada ku haysatay soo waaridida shiidaalka iyo maamulka haamaha shiidaalka Beberaba, waxay arrintaasi ahayd mid ku timid sida ay ugu dhiiran tahay xukuumaddu inay suuliso heshiiyadii sharci darradda ahaa. Waxa Madaxweynuhu uu shacbigiisa gacmahooda dib ugu soo celiyay inay fursad u helaan siyaasadda, waxaanu soo saaray go’aan taariikhi ah oo uu ku furay ururadda siyaasadda, waxaana si sharci ah isu diiwaan geliyay 15 urur siyaasadeed oo ka gudbay wareegii hore ee diiwaan gelinta, kuwaasi qaadanaya shahaadada diiwaan gelinta.</p>
<p>Ururadda siyaasada ee la furay waxa bilowgii liqi kari waayay sadexdii xisbi qaran oo uu ku jiro xisbiga tallada haya, ururadda la furay waxay xamaasad gelisay xarakaadka miidaanka siyaasadda. Waxa kale oo madaxweynaha iyo Goleyaasha sharci dejinta oo is garabsanayaa ay tirtireen qodobkii ka hortaagnaa dhalinyarada inay ka qeyb galaan tallada dalkooda, waxaanay hoos loo dhigay da’da dhalinyaradu iskugu soo sharixi karto doorashooyinka Goleyaasha deegaanka iyo wakiiladda oo laga dhigay 25 sano jir, halkii ay ka ahaan jirtay 35 iyo wixii ka sii weyn.</p>
<p>Waxa dalka laga saaray dadkii ajanabiga ahaa ee sifaha sharci darrada ah ku joogay dalka, kuwaasi oo u badnaa qowmiyada oromadda ee dalka Itoobiya, kuwaasi oo culays dhaqan dhaqaale iyo caafimaad ku hayay bulshada. waxa kale oo ay xukuumaddu ku lifaaqday go’aankaasi qaraar kale oo ay ku mamnuucday inay dadka ajanabiga ahi ay ka shaqeeyaan shaqooyinka ay muwaadiniintu qaban karaan, taasina waxay qeyb ka tahay qorshaha shaqo abuurka ah ee lagu dhimayo heerka shaqo la’aanta dalka ka jirta.<br />
Xukuumaddu waxay abuurtay qorshe shan sanadoodle ah oo ay u samaysay wasaaradaha iyo Ha’yadaha dawladda, waxaana ay gacanta ku haysaa qorsheyaal ay doonayso inay kula xisaabtanto Ha’yadaha caalamiga ah ee la soo mariyo deeqaha loogu tallo galay Somaliland.</p>
<p>Isbedelka ugu badani waxay ku samaysay siyaasadda dibada Somaliland waxaana ugu weyn inay dardar gelisay qadiyadii ictiraaf raadinta ee lagu iibgeynayay madax banaanida dalkeena, waxay garaacday albaab walba waxay jabisay deyrkii Somaliland kaga gudbanaa wadamada carabta waxaanay xidhiidh dublamaasiyadeed la yeelatay dalka Masar oo ka mid ahaa dalalka ugu firfircoon ee xasadka ku ahaa madax banaanida dalka.</p>
<p>Xukuumadda oo ka faa’iidaysanaysa laydha siyaasadeed iyo dhaqdhaqaaqyada dimuqraadiyad doonka ah ka aloosan qeybo badan oo ka mid ah dunida carabta waxay ku dhiiratay inay aqbasho marti qaad ay ka heshay dawlada masaarida waxaanay u dirtay wefti Wasiirro ah oo todobaadkii hore socdaal ku tagay Qaahira isla markaana kulamo sarsare iyo wada xaajood la yeeshay Wasiirro iyo madax sare oo ka tirsan dawlada masaaridda.</p>
<p>Sidoo kale, waxay xukuumaddu ay socdaalo ku gaalaa bixisay dalal badan oo ka mid ah dunida, waxaana dedaalkaasi ka dhashay inay dalka yimaadaan wufuud badan oo heerkoodu sareeyo oo ka socday dalalka Ingiriiska, Denmark, Sweden, waana arrinta sababtay in dawlada Ingiriisku ay shaacisay inay afar laabayso kaalmadii ay siin jirtay Somaliland, waana ta kalifay in dawlada Denmark ay daboolka uga qaaday inay si toos ah kaalmadeeda u siin doonto Xukuumadda.</p>
<p>Waxa xukuumaddu 12-kii bilood ee u dambeeyay ay kor u sii qaaday xidhiidhadii iyo iskaashigii ay la lahayd dalalka dariska la ah, kuwaasi oo ay iska kaashadaan dhinacyada, Nabadgelyada, la dagaalanka argagixisadda iyo aafadda budhcad badeedda. Madaxweynuhu wuxuu booqday dalalka Jabuuti iyo Itoobiya, waxa kale oo uu ka qeyb galay xafladii wanqalka qaranka cusub ee koofurta Suudaan.</p>
<p>Waxa sanadkan dalka ka qabsoomay tartankii ciyaaraha goboladda oo dawladu gelisay dhaqaale iyo juhdi badan, tartankaasi oo ay ka qeyb galeen sideed gobol waxa marti gelisay magaalada Burco. Waxa tartankaa xiisihiisii kor u sii qaaday TV-yada iyo Idaacada Radio Hargeysa oo si toos ah u tabinayay, waxa soo gabo-gabeeyay Madaxweynaha Somaliland oo Gobolka maroodi-jeex gudoon siiyay koobkii horyaalnimada tartamadii kubaddaha cagta iyo gacmaha oo ay isku darsadeen.</p>
<p>Waxa xukuumaddu ay dabooshay baahidii qurbo jooga Somaliland u qabeen inay helaan warbaahinta qaranka, waxaana TV-ga Qaranku uu sanadkan baahintiisii la wada gaadhsiiyay wadamada adduunka oo dhan waxaana ugu dambeeyay waqooyiga Ameerika oo uu todobaadkii u dambeeyay la gaadhsiiyay. Waxa iyana la bixiyay idaacadii weynayd ee la doonayay in dalka laga hirgeliyo.</p>
<p>Sanadkan waxa shacbiga iyo xukuumadda Somaliland ay markii u horeeyay caawiyeen dalka Soomaaliya ee qalalaasuhu halakeeyeen, waxaanay 750 kun oo dollar ugu deeqeen kumanaan qoys oo ku barokacay macaluul, abaaro baahsan iyo colaada Soomaaliya, waxaanay raashin iyo dawooyin la geeyay magaalada Muqdisho iyo xeryaha qaxoontiga Soomaalida ee Kenya, waxay Somaliland ka mid noqotay dalalkii hormuudka ka noqday ee ka damqaday dhibaatadaasi ku habsatay Soomaaliya.</p>
<p>Qodobada kale oo sanadkan dalka ka dhacay waxa ka mid ahaa inay maxkamada sare ee Somaliland ka gar naqday khilaaf weyn oo kala qeybiyay xisbiga mucaaridka ah ee UCID waxaanay u xukuntay in Faysal Cali Waraabe yahay gudoomiyaha sharciga ah ee xisbigaasi.</p>
<p>Waxa kale oo ka mid ah arrimihii u waaweynaa ee dalka ka dhacay go’aankii la isku waafaqay ee Golaha wakiiladdu ku laaleen diiwaan gelintii codbixiyeyaasha isla markaana ku meel mariyeen in doorashada goleyaasha deegaanka ee fooda inagu soo haya lagu galo diiwaan gelin la’aan. Waxa caadi ku soo noqday wada shaqayntii xukuumadda iyo Golaha Wakiiladda kuwaasi oo u wada shaqeeya sidii dastuuriga ahayd. Ka dib markii sanado badan uu meesha ka baxay wada shaqayntii xukuumadda iyo sharcidejinta.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SayliciPress Analysis: We strongly believe Hassan has a point. Somaliland Republic regained its lost independence and soveriynity 21 years ago. Though we went through multiple milestones such the building of our democratic institutions, rebuilding the country, went through four successful elections including two presidential elections, one parliamentary and one municipal election, yet we did not realize to acquire our dejure recognition from a broken world still led by declining hegemonic  colonial powers.</p>
<p><span id="more-12014"></span>These colonial powers who determine who is recognized or not did not bother to recognize the aspirations of the people of Somaliland. Some of the blame will go around and falling a little short of reaching our ultimate goal. Both our leaders and the Diaspora failed to articulate the importance of our independence and its utmost importance to everybody including our neighboring dictators who call themselves IGAD (which I call Ill-educated IIDAAD DESPOTS). Somalilanders must tell the world, had they fail to recognize our hard won independence the whole area will be not see peace. We must bluntly tell our neighboring despots nobody else will enjoy independence if the people of Somaliland are denied to have their Allah given rights for freedom. They must know Somalilanders are determined to safe guard their sovereignty and will keep, and sustain It by any means necessary. Despite all that there is a flicker of hope in the horizon. The ongoing Arab spring will revolutionize both regional and international politics. Already it made two regional lackluster rubber stamps pseudo-organizations called the Arab league and so-called African Union on the verge of becoming obsolete and irrelevant. The later failed and was even stood by the violently ousted Kaddafi when was ravaging Libya. The Arab League miserably failed to do anything abut Syria, Yemen and Egypt. Therefore, these revolutions are expected to effect radical structural change in the world. In that back drop Somaliland cause may be received a region which already lost four of its staunchest anti-Somaliland dictators, Mubarak, Giraffe, Saleh and Zhine Al-Abidine Bin Ali. The political landscape surrounding Somaliland is much different than what it was just a year ago. The other thing we need to vigorously try is to find friends and allies everywhere in the world including the state of Israel.</p>
<p>After more than 20 years, who do we blame for the lack of diplomatic recognition and how do we go around this never-ending “somali-wayn” quagmire to attain our goal? To be blunt and humble at the same time, I think we can only blame ourselves, to certain degree, and of course our past and current governments! Well, some will argue that Kosovo, South-Sudan, South-Ossetia, Abkhazia&#8230;all had powerful political friends such as (respectively), the West and Russia&#8230;Even thought, legally speaking, we, somalilanders have a stronger case because we existed as an independent nation already (which means our cause is not in conflict with that “sacred AU and UN territorial indivisibility act). But yet, we seem to be having hard time convincing the world to our, well justified, cause and win some friends. Yes, as she said, that famous singer, “Gadhba gadhbaa la tusaayeh, gacalkeen miyuu lumay&#8230;” Gacalkeen or our supposed friends are, unfortunately the anti-democratic-Arab-Muslim brothers who sadly ganged up on our beloved democratic Somaliland&#8230;Why? Because we are simply the example and the embodiment of Hope and Progress, in all the sense of the words, unlike them. But still&#8230;why couldn’t or can’t we win the heart and mind of the “free world” or those of Kosovo, South-Sudan, Eritrea, South-Ossetia, Abkhazia&#8230; at least? Well, this is leading me back to one of my above questions: Who to blame for this stalemate?</p>
<p>First of all, we, Somalilanders, except celebrating and partying on May 18th, don’t advocate or express ourselves as vehemently, (peacefully of course) as we should in front of the world. We are everywhere on this planet, yet we are too invisible to be taken so seriously by the international community. Just look at how Palestinians are exhibiting their cause to the highest political level, the UN, without mentioning their clever use of the international media. A huge-gigantic Palestinian flag is hoisted in front of the EU office in Brussels as a reminder of the Palestinian rights to self-determination. Did we forget how, tirelessly, the former Yugoslav republics citizens were present day and night in the streets of the biggest world capitals? In other words, they were LOBBYING hard for their causes. But even if we, the ordinary Somalilanders, failed or not willing to organize ourselves to that level, WHERE was or is our government? Do we or does our government understand what is nationhood? At this crucial juncture of our unfinished democratic and peaceful struggle, our politicians have the moral responsibility to lead, support, assist and encourage us in organizing us, the citizens, no matter where we are in this world (more importantly in the west). What other noble cause than this would they (the government) assist us with if they remain passive all the time? How much money would the organization of a peaceful rally (in front of the world) cost our government, at least twice a year, in front of the UN and EU headquarters or even at Westminster? Certainly not even a fraction of the kind of money our politicians spend wastefully on themselves. We’re all aware of that by the way. But my point is that our governments were (in the past) and is passive, inert&#8230;</p>
<p>We need an efficient, active, competent and operational LOBBY group set up and funded by the government of Somaliland in order to get the international community attention and acceptance. It’s been more than 20 years brothers and sisters. If peace and democracy prevail in Somaliland today, it’s thanks to the ordinary Somalilanders who worked hard for that. It’s not politicians who brought that to us. We know what their primary interest is most of the time. So, each and every one of us should wake this government up and tell them to get their acts together&#8230; 20 years on and still&#8230;</p>
<p>Some, will say, we are lacking a mutual agreement of separation with the Somali-wayn so-called government in order to be accepted. But, did Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia have agreement with Serbia or with the former Yugoslavia before leaving the federation? NO! Nevertheless they got what they wanted with a big smile from their western friends. Speaking of political friends, I think we have to remind ourselves and our so called Arab-Muslim brothers that we have the same rights as Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Bahrain, and Turkey to have a diplomatic relation with Israel. It’s not a secret, they all have relations with Israel and that‘s fine. Why it’s OK for them to deal with Israel but NOT OK for us? Are we mentally and psychologically possessed, controlled and brainwashed by the fake and so called Arab-Muslim brothers? Are we that subservient to them? It smells like that, to certain extent. So we should start talking with the first nation who recognized Somaliland in 1960, Israel, to get out of the arab-muslim-somali-wayn entrapment. Did I hear that Israel approached us not longtime ago? I think so! Why didn’t our governments follow up that lead? Oh! By the way and for the record, the former Foreign affairs minister of Somaliland, Mr.Abdillahi Mohamed Duale (during Riyaleh government), is an adviser to the president of South-Sudan. One could say that we are lucky to have one of us at such key position but, again, we can’t get any attention from Mr. Salva KIRR (south-Sudanese president). Mmmmm&#8230;Are our politicians dragging their feet and delaying this elusive recognition purposely, for reasons we don’t understand? Perhaps!</p>
<p>Finally and concretely, we should hold accountable our government(s) (past and present) for this diplomatic failure and stagnation.</p>
<p>We should pressure our government to set up and fund a real international and effective LOBBY group.</p>
<p>Our government should engage and approach any state willing to assist us in our cause, starting with ISRAEL and with the newly independent nations in order to break this 20 years old vicious circle.</p>
<p>And of course, we the ordinary Somalilanders should not only get together on the 18th of May but also, come out massively to promote our self-determination rights in the streets and wherever we are in this world. If we don’t help ourselves, nobody is going to help us.</p>
<p>Long live Somaliland!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Reuters) &#8211; A group of businesses that provide money transfers between Minnesota and Somalia said they had suspended their services on Thursday, forced into the move after a U.S. bank decided to shut down what they call a vital lifeline to the war-torn African country.</p>
<p><span id="more-12011"></span>Somalia has appealed the decision by Sunrise Community Banks to end the remittances program from Minnesota, home to the largest Somali-American population in the United States. U.S.-based Somalis send about $100 million back home each year, according to the U.S. Treasury.</p>
<p>The move to shut down the service came two months after two Somali-American women from Rochester, Minnesota, were convicted of raising money for al Shabaab rebels, militants linked to al Qaeda who control parts of the Horn of Africa country.</p>
<p>Sunrise has said it was continuing to look for alternate arrangements to send remittances, but would end the service it was providing on December 30 over fears that it would risk violating U.S. regulatory and anti-terrorism financing laws.</p>
<p>The Somali American Money Services Association, which was ending its services even before the Sunrise deadline, said the businesses complied with state and federal laws and believed they were being singled out and denied vital banking services.</p>
<p>&#8220;Remittance is an essential lifeline for the Somali people, and it is the only source of funding that sustains the livelihood of millions of Somalis, mostly women and children,&#8221; the association said in a statement.</p>
<p>The association said services would resume once a solution could be found.</p>
<p>The end-of-year deadline had sparked appeals by the Somali community in Minnesota, the Somali government, U.S. lawmakers and relief groups to find an alternative to the services.</p>
<p>U.S. banks have been closing these services over the last several years, leaving few alternatives to send money into Somalia, which has no formal banking system. Advocates said the Sunrise shutdown would force Somali Americans to use less secure and less documented routes.</p>
<p>The association said a rally was planned for Friday afternoon in Minneapolis to protest the end of the services.</p>
<p>CATASTROPHIC HUMANITARIAN SITUATION</p>
<p>U.S. Representative Keith Ellison of Minneapolis appealed to President Barack Obama earlier in December to find a way to continue the remittances, citing the &#8220;catastrophic humanitarian situation in Somalia.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sunrise said it recognized the potential impact from the end of the wire transfer services and remained in constant communication with congressional leaders and government officials to look for a solution.</p>
<p>&#8220;We continue to work tirelessly with the community and government officials to create a temporary legal and regulatory solution that would allow the bank to extend the account closure date,&#8221; Sunrise said in a statement.</p>
<p>The Somali government has said an estimated $2 billion &#8212; one-third of the country&#8217;s gross domestic product &#8212; is channeled to Somalia through &#8220;hawala&#8221; or small money transfer businesses.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the Somali Mission to the United Nations had appealed to the Sunrise CEO to extend the December 30 deadline. Sunrise had first planned to end the services on December 15, but later extended the program to December 30.</p>
<p>Sunrise said the challenges of providing aid and services to Somalia were not new and that the U.S. government had found ways to remove legal obstacles temporarily for aid groups providing food to famine victims.</p>
<p>&#8220;The bank remains hopeful that the government would be willing to consider a similar solution in this instance,&#8221; Sunrise said. &#8220;Until that solution is found, the bank must continue to comply with all U.S. laws and banking regulations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sunrise has said its decision to end the service was unrelated to the federal trial of Amina Ali and Hawo Mohamed Hassan, the women from Rochester convicted of fund-raising for al Shabaab. Ali and Hassan say the funds were intended for the poor and needy.</p>
<p>Some 18 people have been charged in Minnesota in an investigation into efforts to recruit Americans to train or fight in Somalia. At least two Minnesota men are thought to have died in Somalia fighting for al-Shabaab.</p>

Ayuu yiri Samatar oo jeediyay khudbo qiiro galisay dadkii halkaas joogay.</p>
<p>“Wadadii Maka Al-mukarrama ee ahayd halbawlaha caasimada, way burburtay, hogag ayay isu badashay, shacabkana dac darro ayaa ka muuqatay”.Ayuu sii raacshay intii uu ka sheekaynayay baaxada burburka gaaray Muqdisho.</p>

<p>Prof. Samatar ayaa dhanka kale rajo ka muujiyay mustaqbalka Soomaaliya, isagoo xusay inuu Muqdisho ku soo arkay dhalinyaro Soomaaliyeed oo jecel inay wax qabsadaan, balse ay haysato hogaan la’aani.<br />
“Jaamacada ayaan khudbad ka jeediyay boqolaal ayaa isugu timid, taasi waxay ku tusaysaa inay dadka rajadoodii ayan dhiman”. Ayuu yiri.</p>
<p>Cabdulaahi Faarax oo isna kamid ah xisbiga Hiil Qaran ayaa safarkoodii ku sheegay inay ku tageen qaybo kamid ah magaalada Muqdisho iyo xeryaha ay ku jiraan dadka barakacayaasha ah, oo uu sheegay inay haysato xaalad nololeed oo aad u adag.</p>
<p>Xamdi Cabdulle oo kamid ah hogaamiyayaasha ururka ayaa iyaduna ka hadashay doorka haweenka Soomaaliyeed ay ciyaareen xilligii burburka oo ay ku tilmaantay inay jihad u galeen sidii ay u badbaadin lahaayeen nolosha qoysaskooda.</p>
<p>“Haweenku waa kuwa lacagta ugu badan dibadaha kasoo dira, waa kuwa dalka qoysaska jooga u shaqeeya, saasoo ay tahayna doorkooda laguma xaq dhowro oo waxay  la kulmaan tacadiyo raggoodiina waa kuwo iska qayilaya”. Ayay tiri Xamdi.</p>

<p>Xamdi ayaa haweenka Soomaaliyeed ku tilmaantay inay yihiin hooyooyinka ugu kartida badan ee mar walba kasoo saara dalka iyo qoysaskoodaba marxaladaha adag.</p>
<p>Gudoomiye ku xigeenka baarlamaanka Kenya Faarax Macallim oo goobtaasi ka hadlay ayaa sheegay inuu taageeri doono ururka Hiil Qaran walow uu tilmaamay in ururo badan oo uu taageero la garab istaagay ay ku guul darraysteen arrimaha Soomaaliya.</p>
<p>Faarax Macallim ayaa ka codsaday Soomaalida inay dalkooda u soo jeestaan ayna wax ka qabsadaan.</p>
<p>“Muslinka indhaha duubtay ee dalalka kale ka yimid ee Soomaaliya Alshabaab ay keentay ma dan baa ugu jirta Shacabka Soomaaliyeed?

Ayuu yiri Faarax oo aad ay ugu sacabiyeen dadkii halkaasi isugu yimid.</p>

<p>Waxayna ugu baaqeen Soomaalida inay garab istaagaan xisbiga ama ay abuuraan qorshayaal kale oo dadka iyo dalka lagu badbaadinayo, iyagoo xalka Soomaaliya sheegay inuu ku jiro Soomaalida oo gacmaha is qabsata lagana shaqeeyo sidii dib loogu yagleeli lahaa is jacaylkii Soomaalida ka dhaxayn jiray.</p>

<p>TEHRAN — A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander said on Thursday that the United States was not in a position to tell Tehran “what to do in the Strait of Hormuz,” state television reported.</p>
<p><span id="more-11943"></span>Tehran’s threat to block crude shipments through the crucial passage for Middle Eastern suppliers followed the European Union’s decision to tighten sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, as well as accompanying moves by the United States to tighten unilateral sanctions.</p>
<p>Iran’s English-language Press TV quoted Hossein Salami as saying: “Any threat will be responded by threat … We will not relinquish our strategic moves if Iran’s vital interests are undermined by any means.”</p>
<p>Separately, Salami was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency: “Americans are not in a position whether to allow Iran to close off the Strait of Hormuz.”</p>
<p>The U.S. Fifth Fleet said on Wednesday it would not allow any disruption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a strip of water separating Oman and Iran.</p>
<p>“Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated,” the Bahrain-based fleet said in an e-mail.</p>
<p>At loggerheads with the West over its nuclear program, Iran said earlier it would stop the flow of oil through the strait in the Gulf if sanctions were imposed on its crude exports.</p>
<p>“Closing the Strait of Hormuz for Iran’s armed forces is really easy … or as Iranians say, it will be easier than drinking a glass of water,” Iran’s navy chief Habibollah Sayyari told Iran’s English-language Press TV on Wednesday.</p>
<p>“But right now, we don’t need to shut it …,” said Sayyari, who is leading 10 days of exercises in the Strait.</p>
<p>Analysts say that Iran could potentially cause havoc in the Strait of Hormuz which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. At its narrowest point, it is 21 miles across.</p>
<p>But its navy would be no match for the firepower of the Fifth Fleet which consists of 20-plus ships supported by combat aircraft, with 15,000 people afloat and another 1,000 ashore.</p>
<p>The Strait is a 50-kilometre wide passageway through which about a third of the world’s oil tanker traffic sails. Whoever controls this crucial choke-point virtually controls Middle East oil exports.</p>
